April Bernard will join Stephanie Berger, Elaine Equi, Angelina Fiordellisi, Diana Goetsch, Marie Howe, Deborah Landau, Elizabeth Macklin, Terese Svoboda, and Kathleen Widdoes at Commerce Street's Cherry Lane Theater for a candlelit celebration of the female poets who lived and worked in the Village.
March brings us two films by Bruce Conner; a series celebrating Emilio Fernández, a renowned figure in Mexican cinema's Golden Age; documentary portraits and political works by William Klein; a digital restoration of R.W. Fassbinder's television family drama; and Luis Buñuel's "Belle de Jour."
The mannerisms in Modigliani's portraits and nudes—the elongated faces, the tilted heads, the lithe poses—display a young man out to make a mark, to signal his presence in an immediately recognizable style.
The Guggenheim's new presentation of the art that emerged from Josef Albers's numerous road trips to Mexico showcases his appreciation for the country, juxtaposing his studies, typically drawn on graph paper, with both his finished artwork (mostly paintings, one lithograph) and his fastidious arrangements of tiny on-site photographs.
In 'The Disasters of Peace,' artists Tsuge Tadao and Katsumata Susumu depict the financial desperation, moral confusion, and the shame of military defeat that afflicted in the years following the Pacific War,
In this wide-ranging Israeli artist's new solo show, human figures have lost basic contours, to the point that their humanity is sometimes hard to identify.
Francisco de Zurbarán's remarkable series of Jacob and his sons at the Frick has hung since the eighteenth century in the bishop of Durham's palace at Bishop Auckland, in northeast England. An unusual treasure to find in an Anglican bishop's palace given Protestant horror at religious imagery, it is notable as being the only such series of paintings known to survive in Europe.
"Soul of a Nation" features some 170 works made between 1963 and 1983 by sixty-seven artists, living and dead, all but two of African descent: some of sustained prominence; others who surged initially, then fell out of fashion; and others, again, who produced steadily but have only recently achieved widespread acclaim.
A group show at Cambridge's newly reopened Kettle's Yard, an experimental gallery space established in the 1950s by the art collectors Jim and Helen Ede, establishes a sense of continuity between the museum's history and its present.
The photographers who documented the unconstitutional forced removal and incarceration of roughly 120,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II—the consequence of a 1942 executive order by President Franklin D. Roosevelt—are at the center of a new show in New York.
"Journeys with 'The Waste Land': A visual response to T.S. Eliot's poem" is a dense and many-layered exhibition—but, then, so is The Waste Land on first reading, with its multiple voices, echoes, and allusions. The exhibition, like the poem, has a brave experimental energy.
For more than forty years, Paul Kolnik has been taking indelible photographs of the New York City Ballet. As part of this year's Harkness Dance Festival, a selection of his images will be on view in the Weill Art Gallery, including his views of George Balanchine and the dancers with whom he worked.
Two concurrent exhibitions showcase the brilliant collections of the Stuart kings Charles I and Charles II, who in their record as patrons of the arts surpassed any other dynasty in British history.
This exhibition brings together the large-scale tableaux of three American artists from different generations, each with a different perspective on black culture and its representation.
Jasper Johns's ambivalent American paintings, equipoised between image and object, invention and preexistence, have long confounded art historians and critics—unsure of whether they stand for the United States and what sort of political orientation Johns imagined for them.
At NYU, a gem-like exhibition offers a welcome reminder that Islamic and Western thought have, for centuries, fruitfully converged.
A new show at the National Portrait gallery tracks Sylvia Plath's obsession with divided selves, from her Smith senior thesis on the double in Dostoevsky, to the many masks she wore during her short lifetime.
Peter Hujar, a reluctant stalwart in the downtown demi-monde of late twentieth-century New York, made portraits that are intimate, quirky, well composed, and often quite beautiful.
An outsider artist is a figure who makes a body of work while operating in relative isolation, unaware of, or indifferent to, developments in the work of professional artists...someone who resolutely, and perhaps eccentrically, wants to live and work on her or his own terms.
The Museum of Modern Art's retrospective focuses on Stephen Shore's photographs of hyper-quotidian America, our stalest shades of red, white, and blue.
This celebration of the seventieth anniversary of Magnum Photos, which appeared last year at the International Center of Photography in New York and now travels to Rome, showcases the work of seventy of the legendary agency's most influential photographers.
The gripping and dramatic show "All Too Human: Bacon, Freud and a Century of Painting Life" merits its title: it is "all too human" in the tender, painful works that form its core.
The English painter Eric Ravilious expressed his romanticism in naturalistic watercolors, in a style almost antithetical to the imaginary landscapes and aristocratic fêtes champêtres of Rex Whistler—who, like Ravilious, served in uniform in World War II.
Simon Rattle's last year as the head of the Berlin Philharmonic—he has been conducting the orchestra to great acclaim since 2002—is the last chance to see his energetic conducting style at work in the orchestra's acoustically superb concert hall.
Throughout the 1920s in Paris, the painter Tsuguharu Foujita cut an arresting figure: a Japanese modernist as willing to trade on his own foreignness as he was to blend into his Parisian surroundings
A new exhibition at the Ashmolean gives an education in the work produced by the precisionist artists of the 1920s through the 1940s, who used sharp, well-defined lines and striking applications of pigment to master the anxieties and ambivalences associated with modern life.
A major exhibition at the Tate illustrates the competing and overlapping streams of painterly obsession in London in the second half of the twentieth century. It shows us how, in their different ways, painters such as Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud, Leon Kossoff and Frank Auerbach, R.B. Kitaj, and Paula Rego redefined realism.
To criticize Araki's photos—naked women pissing into umbrellas at a live sex show, women with flowers stuck into their vaginas, women in schoolgirl uniforms suspended in bondage, and so on—for being pornographic, vulgar, or obscene, is rather to miss the point.

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
(et-ux-or) Latin for "and wife." Often appears in its abbreviated form, et ux. In older deeds and documents, the phrase was used to indicate that a property was owned by a couple, consisting of a named man and his unidentified wife (for example, John Smith et ux.). In the present day, both parties are usually identified by name.

In the preceding post I talked about family collective karma. Now, allow me to talk about the other different collective karma.
I mentioned in the preceding post that we all have a collective karma with our helpers, boss, and practically everybody we know. Meaning who you work with, who you ride with in the bus, who you employ, or who employs you has a collective karma with us. This is quite complex in the sense that your collective karma with each other is related to each other, but again it doesn't mean that you all live together at the same time, it may be at different times but with one another.
However, there is also a collective karma where you all lived at the same time and is undergoing a specific karma that you have to pay for. The indication whether this is such a case, when you all have to go through a very significant event in your work at the same time.
A few years ago, an RCBC bank in Laguna was in the headlines for a few days and became the talk of the town for a several days, weeks even, because all the employees where shot and killed in what was considered as one of the most heinous and biggest bank heist in the country. All the employees where killed on that day, and that certainly is an indication that they all have a collective karma that they have to pay for, and it is also an indication that whatever karma is that they're paying for means that they also collectively did it at the same time on a specific lifetime.
Another example is the Ozone Disco fire tragedy that happened in the Philippines several decades ago, or even the 9-11 attacks. The is an indication that the people who were at the twin towers that day may have a collective karma that they are paying for, and that it is most likely due to something that they did at the same time on a specific lifetime.
The question is how come some people escape unhurt and while others died. I didn't know the answer to that question until a Zen Dharma Master explained the answer to me. This is base on my experience.
When the July 16 killer quake happened in the Philippines, I didn't feel a thing, although I was in school about to go home and everybody else certainly felt it.
When I was still in school, I would work for my father's restaurant in the evening. One night, I went to the rest room to pee. It only took me less than 5 minutes. When I went out of the restroom I saw a group of men going out of our restaurant, our employees were all seem shock and several of the women are crying. As it turned out, somebody just robbed our restaurant by pointing a gun at them and demanding our staff to give not only the sales but also their personal items.
Jump to several years after. In one of our business, I was in the showroom fixing things when I went into the stockroom to get something. The whole process took about 5 minutes, but when I came out to the showroom, I found out that we were hold-up also. All these stories happened at a time when I wasn't wearing much of an amulet, so the chances that it is because of the amulets saving me are nil. Years later when I attended this Zen Buddhist temple, that the abbess of that temple told me after I shared these stories with her that what I experienced was a form of collective karma. Meaning, chances are we were all involved in a negative act as a group in a specific lifetime, but that chances are I choose not to participate or may even have tried to stop them. As a result in this lifetime I was spared the trauma of all those things but because of my presence in the past life, I really have to sort of go through with it with them although in a different level or intensity.
At this point, your countrymen are also a form of collective karma. So we Filipinos or who is here in the Philippines, we all have a form of collective karma, regardless whether we know each other or not. We all have to pay for the bad karma or reap the good karma depending on what is happening to our country.

North Carolina Tarheels
Head Coach: Roy Williams
2007-08 Recap: 36-3 (14-2 ACC)
2008-09 Roster
Key Losses: C 6'9" Alex Stepheson, G 6'3" Quentin Thomas
Key Additions: G 6'1" Larry Drew, F 6'10" Ed Davis, C 7'0" Tyler Zeller
Starting Line-up
G Ty Lawson 5'11" Jr. 12.7 ppg, 5.2 apg
G Wayne Wllingson 6'4" Jr. 16.6 ppg, 4.5 apg
F Marcus Ginyard 6'4" Sr. 6.9 ppg, 4.5 rpg
F Deon Thompson 6'8" So. 8.4 ppg, 4.8 rpg
F Tyler Hansbourgh 6'9" Sr. 22.6 ppg, 10.2 rpg
Tyler Hansbourgh came back to complete the mission. After winning every award and it being announced that his jersey will be retired at UNC, Hansbourgh could cement himself as one of the greatest college players ever.
Even at only 5'11", there is no more important player on this team then Ty Lawson. While Hansbourgh gets the accolades, it is Lawson that drives this team. When he was out a handful of games last season, UNC looked slow and uncomfortable in their offense.
Smooth shooter Wayne Ellingson is the Tarheel's first option on the perimeter. While shooting over 40 percent from behind the arc, Ellington will have to focus on defensive.
Marcus Ginyard is the defensive stopper and has guard most players from point to power forward.
The Tarheels are expecting improvement from Deon Thompson. After Alex Stepheson transferred, Thompson's play must become more consistent.
Sixth man extraordinaire, Danny Green even though he is the only player off the bench that provides double digit scoring, it is his hustle and defense are what make him a Carolina favorite.
In the backcourt the Tarheels have experience at back-up in Bobby Frasier and we should see Larry Drew III as the "point guard in training" to replace Lawson when he leaves.
The freshmen forwards each have their specialty; Ed Davis is the rebounder and Tyler Zeller is the shooter. They bring in added height and depth to a rather short frontcourt.
Roy Williams has to be pacing in anticipation of the 2008-09 season. The Tarheels roster is stuffed full of talent and the expectations are higher that they have been since Williams has been on the UNC bench.
If there is a weakness one this team, it is that they are not a very tall team. There two tallest players are incoming freshmen Davis and Zeller, neither are going to be expected to add much more than five fouls and garbage time. Drew could see some time if Lawson gets hurt.
The only thing that could keep the Tarheels from bring the championship back to Raleigh would be injury – and a couple good teams!
Duke Blue Devils
Head Coach: Mike Krzyzewski
2007-08 Recap: 28-6 (13-3 ACC)
2008-09 Roster
Key Losses: G 6'4" DeMarcus Nelson, F 6'6" Taylor King
Key Additions: G 6'4" Elliot Williams, F 6'1" Miles Plumlee, F 6'8" Olek Cryz
Starting Line-up
G Nolen Smith 6'2" So. 5.9 ppg, 1.3 apg
G Jon Scheyer 6'5" Jr. 11.7 ppg, 2.4 apg
G Gerald Henderson 6'4" So. 12.7 ppg, 4.7 rpg
F Kyle singler 6'8" So. 13.3 ppg, 5.8 rpg
F Lance Thomas 6'8" Jr. 4.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg
At 6'4" he is the Duke player the takes the jump ball at tip-off. Gerald Henderson is a phenomenal athlete, and his basketball game is finally catching-up. At times he is flash of the best player in the ACC and then other moments he is completely invisible. Henderson must find a personal comprise and also find ways, in the offense, to get his shots.
Sophomore guard Nolen Smith was declared the started my Coach K just a couple weeks ago. Smith is a budding offensive threat and a much better defender than people give him credit.
After living in the sixth man role for two years, Jon Scheyer gets the chance in the starting line-up. When he first came to Durham he was known as a distance shooter, but his game has evolved and is really a threat from anywhere on the floor.
Kyle Singler added twenty pounds of muscle to his wiry frame, which should help in the post. Teams must be track of him everywhere he goes on the court. He is a solid post scorer, good outside shooter, and is the main weapon in the screen and pop. His defense will be an issue as he will be match-up with bigger post players, depending on how is in the line-up for Duke.
The second forward or center spot is a tossup right now. Lance Thomas started last season, but he very well could be plucked from the line-up for 6'10" Miles Plumlee or 7'1" Brian Zoubek. No matter the decision, the three of them will be need for added muscle along with David McClure. Olek Cryz can get off the floor and thinks every shot should be a dunk.
Greg Paulus is going to play his begin his senior off the bench after starting since his freshmen year. Don't let this fool you, he will split minutes with Smith and whoever is having the better game, will be in at the end. He is deadly from distance and is the most experienced player on the roster.
McDonald's All-American Elliot Williams is explosive. He has the handle off a point guard and is not afraid to get to the basket. Finding him minutes is a must, but where. This season he will back-up Scheyer and Henderson – and then next season start in place of Henderson.
Since Josh McRoberts left a few seasons ago, Duke has been thin on the front line. But this season, Coach K actually has options. While all the offense will flow through Singler, there are many bodies to help with defense and rebounding.
Even though Duke lives by the three, the new distance will not hurt them. Most of their guys stood five feet behind the old line.
Caoch K will have this team play is signature pressure defense and but will look to find different ways to get all the players to their full potential on offense.
Miami Hurricanes
Head Coach: Frank Haith
2007-08 Recap: 23-11 (13-3 ACC)
2008-09 Roster
Key Losses: C 6'9" Anthony King, F 6'7" Raymond Hicks
Key Additions: F 6'6" Fr. DeQuan Jones, F 6'9" Fr. Cyrus McGowan
Starting Line-up
G Lance Hudle 6'2" Sr. 8.0 ppg, 2.4 apg
G Jack McClinton 6'2" Sr. 17.7 ppg, 2.6 apg
G James Dews 6'3" So. 10.3 ppg, 2.9 rpg
F Brian Asbury 6'7" Sr. 8.8 ppg, 4.1 rpg
F/C Dwayne Collins 6'9" Jr. 8.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg
Who was the biggest impact player in the ACC not playing for a team in the Carolinas? That would be Jack McClinton. 6'1" he is a major threat from deep, is very capable of getting to the foul line and then shooting over 91 percent when he gets there, and is confident in the clutch. After considering jumping the NBA, McClinton came back to Miami and his stock should rise, along with the amount of wins for this team.
Super quick point guard Lance Hurdle is one of four key seniors on this team. Along with McClinton the offense starts with Hurdle. Hurdle must improve on his ability to deliver passes to the open shooter. Averaging only 2.4 apg with scorers like McClinton and James Dews, is ridiculous. Hurdle needs to connect to the rest of the offense in the natural flow of the offense to get easy and open shots.
James Dews is the last guard in this three-headed monster. He also shots over 90 percent from the foul line and 40 percent from the field. While he might have the stats of McClinton, he must elevate his game if this team wants to succeed.
Brain Asbury, another experienced senior for the Canes, should start at the beginning of the season. But Asbury has sixth man written all over him for the long of the season.
At 6'9", Dwayne Collins is one of three players at that height. The Canes are not tall, but they take up space. He is a tough defender, great leaper, solid rebounder – especially on the offensive end – and can score on the block.
Arkansas transfer Cyrus McGowan is the most likely new face to compete for a starting spot.
Sophomore guard Eddie Rios is a starter in training and is a stellar ball-handler to take over next season
McQuan Jones will see plenty of playing time at the 3 spot. He is a very talented recruit and is the cornerstone for the future.
When would you have thought that the University of Miami would have a basketball team that has higher expectations that is football team?
Coach Haith knows that he is about to turn Miami from a cellar dweller to a top five ACC program.
Miami has talented pieces on offense, but it was their defense that was second in the ACC. If they can keep that a focus while getting a lift from the newcomers to the roster, this team should be ranked all season and make some of those Carolina teams very upset.

Kick Me In The Shin, Insomnia
I know heading into my fifth month of insomnia is inevitably making me more vapid than previously suspected. And, while clarity has never proven my strong suit - I can sometimes arrive within its vicinity after endless annoying exercises in deduction. I'm a cloudy soul. And insomnia really doesn't help clear the air - it makes me dumb, irritated, pinch-faced, and suspicious that melatonin is really just this year's Airborne cold-remedy lawsuit fiasco. Who can I sue for my sleep deprivation anyway?
So, a dear friend and co-worker queried via email "what is your idea of perfect happiness?" - and - after letting that cement-block question root around in my sleepless brain for awhile, with various contenders rising to the surface for consideration, the answer that eventually won out was "the absence of desire". WHAT? Who am I, Buddha? This, after years of therapy? The equivalent of an "off switch" was the best I could come up with? So, I found the sharp corner of my desk and banged my shin on it and then bit my lip. Felt better.
I mean really - I was so freakin' tired yesterday at work, here were my thoughts almost in their entirety: "I want my pillow, I want my sofa, I want to be home, I want my eyes closed, I want to be horizontal, I want no people talking, I want want want want..." - want! So, hindsight informs me where the desire for the absence of desire was coming from, I suppose. Because truly, all I've ever really wanted in life is clarity about what I want in life. So, given the question has haunted me and my shin ever since - I would now like to revise my answer before it lends itself to exponential insomnia.
My idea of perfect happiness is clarity about that which fulfills me - plus - I fully believe that desserts should be damn free of all damn calories. PERFECTION.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on some calorie free food porn...
(it's always free to look, folks....)
Shortbread Tartlets with Mocha Frosting
Well, this was indeed a pesky little project. I initially decided to go off the reservation and try a new recipe for the tartlet - I mean, I like to live on the edge over here. So, I baked the tartlet and was colossally disappointed (yet, this crust had great online reviews, grr). Why isn't Snopes all over this one? So, I then decided (knowing I had to also consider the waning photo-shoot light) to go with a shortbread I already trusted, from the one-and-only saucy little minx - Ina Garten. Then, I wanted to top these suckers with truffle - that's right - just plain old homemade truffle. So I did. And, I liked it - but, I wasn't hot and bothered about it. Though, I definitely would make that combo again for a party (let me know if you want the truffle recipe). BUT *finally*, I made a mocha frosting - and we were all "oh...oh, yeah baby". And this dang recipe was done.
10 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. sugar
1 egg
1/4 tsp. vanilla
1 1/8 cup flour
1/8 tsp. baking powder
pinch salt
2 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. cocoa powder
1 oz. espresso or coffee (or, espresso powder)
1/3 c. butter
1 tbsp. milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Equipment needed: mini-muffin pan, ungreased.
Tartlets: beat the butter and granulated sugar until light, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix dry ingredients into butter mixture until just combined. Dough will be sticky, have bowl of flour nearby to coat fingers while working with dough. Form 3/4-inch balls of dough and press into muffin tins and up the sides. The perfect piece of equipment I found for this was a mini-liquor bottle dipped in flour, perfect size! Don't be tempted to make the balls larger or the end result will be tartlets that are too puffy and large. Be sure that the bottom of the tartlet is quite thin. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until edges just start to turn golden. Cool on rack. Any leftover dough freezes wonderfully. I made 24 and still had a bit of leftover dough.
Frosting: Beat ingredients in medium bowl with electric mixer on low until frosting is smooth. Use immediately or place in refrigerator if stiffening is needed. Frost shortbread with knife, spoon, or use pastry bag. Enjoy.
Shouldn't these be calorie free? I just really think so.

Dear friend, what can I say? You so eloquently express ME I ask myself why I should even bother to speak anymore. When people ask, how are you?, I can simply refer them to your blog!
"I'm a cloudy soul"—wow!—from what deep wells of self-knowledge— and, perhaps, heretofore unrecognized clarity—do these poetic turns of phrase come from? Thank you for your pearls of wisdom wrapped up so beautifully in killer humor, which brings it all home quite nicely.

That chocolate looks amazing, with those small peaks. I couldn't agree more with calorie free desserts adding to perfect happiness. Enjoyed this post.

Dear firefly! What a wonderful comment and I'm so pleased I've captured something that also speaks to you! I love that. Your comment just made the entire post - and heck - the entire 5 months of insomnia for that matter, worth their salt! Thank you, my friend. :)

Those look incredible. Love Ina Garten - but no fair that chocolate and butter are calorie laden while celery is not. Your idea of an "off switch" is quite brilliant, (want one!) and hope your shin feels better soon :)

Those look wonderful. I am a new reader.
About your insomnia, I have fibromyalgia, and sleep is an issue with me,I have been using a CD by Dr. Jeffery Thompson. He uses sound frequency patterns to induce brainwave entrainment. It has been helping. Google him and look at some of his CD's.

Laura - isn't Ina the most calm cook ever? Love that about her. I too think it is highly unfair that celery does not taste like chocolate. :)
Heather - Great tip on the CDs, many thanks! I am off to go look those up...thanks for comin' by and hope you are sleeping well. :)
- May 3, 2008 at 8:03 PM
oh, ina. we were meant to be together.
i don't know what you're talking about with the calorie-free thing. i'm pretty sure that picture caused me to gain some weight.

Hi Michelle - LOL - Ina love is rampant. Also, will have to figure out how to make low-cal pics!

wow these are beautiful. and i love small tartlets cause you can just keep popping them into your mouth. haha, of course at the expense of some guilty regrets later. pretty. :) i like your blog.x

Oh, I am so making these little treats. They look divine...and just decadent! Nice to have found your blog.

In a roundabout way, you've hit upon something I've concluded decades ago. Within the human structure, there is a serious design flaw: the lack of contentment. We always want more, something else ... rare are the moments that we aren't wanting something.
In your case though, you shouldn't have to want to sleep. You should just be able to. :-)
I go through the type of insomnia you describe from time to time. (Sleep issues since birth.) Totally sympathize with your frustration. Wish I had some good remedy to offer.
- May 4, 2008 at 9:16 PM
- Ann said...
Shari - glad you agree! :)
NV - yes, a definite flaw, but at least calorie desserts may help. I'm amazed how many fellow insomniacs are out there - I've had emails as well. Sigh...

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to visit and it's not just the amazing pictures and recipes! Love your thoughts and insight. They were especially helpful today! Thanks!

dearest Ann, I don't really know what to say. how you find the courage to see perfection in a calorie free dessert while I would -handsdown- choose a bed.
but thinking about it, I wouldn't mind sampling one of those moccha beauties from my bed (or sofa, you choose, I'm not picky).

We have all seen those inspirational quotes printed on posters (or photos, if you are a social media person) that talk about conquering challenges, achieving impossible dreams or learning from failures. They are usually backdropped by powerful imageries of nature, such as sunrise or stars. You may cringe or feel inspired by them depending on your perspective.
If inspirational quotes created by humans are not your cup of tea, inspirational quotes generated by an artificial intelligence might interest you. Someone created a bot called InspiroBot which randomly generates "inspirational" quotes and put them on photos for your enjoyment. More often than not, it would generate outlandish and ridiculous quotes, though sometimes, it would show its wit and brilliance. Obviously, the bot won't be able to replace a human any time soon, but who knows.
Here are some of the bizarre quotes it generated:

Alice falls at the gym and hits her head. When she comes to, she realizes that she has lost memory from the last 10 years. She doesn't remember her own children. She finds out she is estranged from her husband, her sister isn't speaking to her, and why was she even at the gym?…she hates the gym! She discovers all kinds of strange things about herself and sure has some catching up to do – a lot of things can happen in 10 years! Essentially she must depend on the people around her to tell her who she is now. And she's not so happy with what she finds out!
Moriarty's opening allows her character to time travel back to a happier time and examine what may have led to the demise of her marriage. The amnesia trick is not a new one, and at first it seemed a bit contrived to me. However, Moriarty's writing saves the set-up and the predictable ending. She does know how to build a compelling story and I did get hooked, despite my early misgivings. The novel doesn't have as many exciting twists and turns as The Husband's Secret and is not quite as much of a page turner, but I would say it's a "summer beach read plus", enhanced with some wisdom and substance. It has some really good things to say about marriage and how to make relationships work. It's good for the reader to consider how to remember what Alice forgot.

Durham fire lanes may be enforced for increased safety
DURHAM -- A proposed ordinance would make it illegal to park in a fire lane, which is important for public safety, according to the town fire marshal.
The Board of Selectmen held a public hearing last week to discuss this ordinance as well as one establishing a fee schedule for permits, both proposed by Fire Marshal William Witecki.
Fire lanes and fire zones in town are not currently covered by an ordinance, allowing people to park there without suffering a penalty.
"[Fire lanes] are not official," Witecki said. "They're not endorsable."
Not many buildings in town have fire lanes out front, but the fire lanes that exist are highly abused.
"The schools are our risk occupancies on top of our radar," he said.
All Regional District 13 schools have fire lanes, officials said.
"This ordinance is meant to keep free access even if the building is occupied so the fire trucks and ambulance can get there and keep everybody safe," Witecki said.
Selectman Steve Levy said he sees the proposed ordinance as an opportunity to educate people who park in those designated zones and suggested marshals start giving out friendly reminders informing people that they are not allowed to park there.
Witecki said if the public votes to accept the ordinance it will be the obligation of the property owners to take care of the cost and painting of fire lanes. Some existing areas may require better signage to prevent people from parking there, he said.
Witecki also suggested establishing a fee schedule for permits issued by him as permitted by the Connecticut General Statutes.
The state statutes allow the town to adopt a fee schedule for inspections, which is the same one that permits the town building department to charge fees.
"We're probably one of the last [towns in the state to adopt this ordinance]," Witecki said. "There are a handful in Connecticut that haven't done it yet."
Witecki said he as well as Deputy Fire Marshal David Steele researched towns such as Somers, Stratford and Wilton, that are of a similar size and host similar activities to get some ideas.
"We've compared their fees and we've come up with a fee structure which we think is reasonable, that would help subsidize the town a little bit without hurting the businesses and the people we're actually inspecting " he said. "There's really no huge fees on the list here."
While both came up with proposed fee amounts for events as large as the Durham Fair to small canopy gatherings that would house greater than 100 people, Witecki said the fee schedule may be amended from time to time upon the vote of the Board of Selectmen. But the fee schedule will be based on the recommendations made by the fire marshal.
Town-operated facilities like the Durham Public Library, the Durham Fire Department, the Volunteer Ambulance Company and the town of Durham, or events sponsored by the town will be exempt the payment of fees, if the ordinance is adopted.
"This is at no benefit to my department, except for more work for us," Witecki said.
First Selectwoman Laura Francis pointed out that the fee schedule includes inspections that the department is already responsible for performing, but they're done at no cost.
"And the taxpayers are all paying for them now because they're paying for our budget, so this would help cover our costs," Witecki added. "It's not going to bring in a lot of money to the town but it will help offset some of the budget."
According to the proposal, a permit for a fair, carnival, or any special event outdoors will be $100 each. Under special considerations, Witecki proposed that nonprofit organization concessions pay 50 percent of permit fees.
Levy questioned if such inspections would become an impediment to the operation of the fair, thus resulting in people voting the ordinance down.
"It's meant for the true commercial establishments, although we do spend a lot of time at the fair it shouldn't be all on the taxpayers," Witecki said.
Vendors, like those who attend the Durham Fair, will have to pay a fee of $10. So a nonprofit vendor will be obligated to pay $5.
"It's not even the cost of a sandwich," Witecki said.
"I think it's really important that people understand that it's only $10 or half of $10," Levy said.
Witecki noted that he, Steele, Fire Inspector Jonathan Handley, and marshals from the state Fire Marshal's Office spend hundreds of hours during the week of the Durham Fair.
"[The hours] are probably equal to what we do for the rest of the town," he said. "Ten dollars is not a lot to ask."
All fees can be paid directly to the town hall or by check made out to the Town of Durham.
Notice of a proposal to amend existing fees will be published at least five days prior to the date of the meeting at which selectmen will consider it. Witecki proposes that an amended fee schedule become effective 30 days following the date of adoption.
"I think that it's high-time that this ordinance be passed," said Levy, a former town fire chief. "I think its appropriate that fire marshals always have fees for what [they] do. You guys are highly qualified. You're doing as fire marshals criminal investigations that are potentially leading to prosecutions. I want this ordinance to be passed."

New CAT buses to help disabled, elderly
Buses paid for by state, federal grants
CAT's new Para Transit buses have wheelchair lifts that come in handy for Kim Blocker; she suffers from back and kidney problems.
"It's really the difference between life and death because I can't stand out on the corner for long hours waiting for the city bus," said Blocker.
She says she's done it before.
"One winter I stayed out there like two hours waiting for the bus; I was covered with snow. I looked like the abominable snowman," Blocker said.
Blocker says she uses the Para Transit buses also known as Share-a-Ride, at least three times a week to go to dialysis. She says it only takes about 30 minutes for the bus to pick her up. The buses provide door-to-door service for seniors and the disabled.
"If I have to go to the bathroom or throw up, CAT's Share-a-Ride will stop and make accommodations," said Blocker.
These small buses have enough room for 14 passengers or four people in wheel chairs and CAT just replaced its old fleet, with 10 brand-new buses.
"When we talk about the disabled, some people can't get to the bus stop depending on their disability so Para Transit takes them to where they need to go," said Brian Dean, of CAT.
CAT says doing that could cost up to $40 for each trip. The general manager says most of the riders get a state or federal grant to pay for the fare, including Blocker.
Not only is she happy to get a free ride, but a brand new ride.
The buses cost more than $58,000 each. CAT paid for them by using state and federal grants.

WASHINGTON (SBG) -- James Holzhauer is causing a stir among "Jeopardy" fans after breaking the record for single day cash winnings on the show with $110,914. The last time this record was broken, the amount totaled to $77,000, Decider reports.
Holzhauer, who also happens to be a professional sports gambler, wagered $38,000 during a Final Jeopardy question about physics. TVLine reports the earnings number is especially significant because his daughter was born on November 9th, 2014 (11/09/14).
The contestant has already won four times and will compete in Wednesday's episode having won a total sum of $244,365.
"Is it too soon to start thinking about Ken Jennings comparisons," host Alex Trebek asked towards the end of Tuesday night's episode.

Reliable communication via Profibus with Grundfos machine tool pump for cooling.
ŠKODA MACHINE TOOL a.s. relies on Grundfos CIU 150 communication interface, which communicates via Profibus between control system and frequency controlled Grundfos pump.
There is a nearly 100 years long history of producing machine tools by Škoda in Plzen, Czech Republic. ŠKODA MACHINE TOOL a.s. is world's leading producer of heavy horizontal milling and boring machines and heavy horizontal lathes. As accessories ŠKODA MACHINE TOOL a.s. can supply turntables with a maximum load up to 250 tons. Thus ŠKODA MACHINE TOOL a.s. becomes a preferred supplier for leading companies in the field of power engineering.
The problem
One manufacturer of steam turbines has recently installed a new heavy horizontal machine (type HCW-3, see picture above) and there was a need for regulation of cutting fluid flow by the automatic tool change. This heavy horizontal machine uses various types and sizes of tools, placed in the automatic tool changer, and every tool needs cooling liquid with different parameters. The designers of this machine were searching for a sophisticated solution of a direct control of quantity of delivered liquid. This means that the quantity of liquid fed into the tool is driven directly from the machine control system (automatically loaded with information about the currently used tool).
The solution
Grundfos delivered a machine tool pump MTRE 3-26/11 and communication unit CIU 150 (for Profibus) for an efficient change of cooling liquid parameters by using automatic tool change.
The CIM/CIU 150 is a standard interface for data transmission between a Profibus DP network and a Grundfos pump or controller. It makes data exchange easy between Grundfos pumping systems and a PLC or SCADA system.
No custom programming is needed to integrate the CIM/CIU 150 in a Profibus network. System integration is very straight-forward with standard GSD files and support for the standard profile "intelligent pumps" from Profibus International.
The interface module can be installed as an internal add-on or as a wall-mounted unit where internal connection is not supported. The wall-mounted unit is equipped with a 24-240 VAC/VDC power supply.
In addition to Profibus DP, interface modules are also available for GENIbus, BACnet, Modbus, LON, GSM and other systems.
At ŠKODA MACHINE TOOL a.s. the CIU 150 ensures direct communication via Profibus between Sinumerik control system and frequency controlled pump MTRE. The liquid's flow is now adjusted automatically at every change of working tool.
The outcome
The whole system now works reliably, i.e. the pump's performance is always automatically adjusted to the need for the currently used tools and technologies.
Michal Trejbal, designer of machines states: "We needed changes in flow of cooling liquid for a large machine. We looked for a speed controlled pump and something more, namely a communication system which is able to communicate between that pump used on large horizontal milling machines and our Sinumerik control system made by Siemens. Our traditional pump supplier Grundfos was able to offer a complex solution with MTRE pump and CIU 150 communication interface, which is prepared for direct communication via Profibus. In ŠKODA MACHINE TOOL a.s. we are very familiar with these surroundings and so our final work for establishing communication between pump and control system was not too hard."
ŠKODA MACHINE TOOL a.s. relies on Grundfos CIU 150 communication interface, which communicates via Profibus between control system and frequency controlled Grundfos pump.

|Irish newcomer Farrell made a big (and deserved) splash as Army draftee Roland Bozz, one of a group of grunts at the final stage of infantry training at Fort Polk, Louisiana in 1971. The title refers to the wilderness area designed for jungle combat simulation before the newbies are shipped out to Nam. But the rebellious, cynical Bozz gets away with defying every rule thrown at him to the disbelief of the others in the platoon. Familiar story but the ensemble cast is right on the mark and director Schumacher keeps tight control in this old-fashioned low-budget drama.

Long Before "The Hunger Games" books and movies broke onto the popular consciousness, professor emerita of kinesiology Mel Leach served as archery's driving force at LBSU and throughout California.
Leach, whose background in playing and coaching women's basketball included UC Santa Barbara, arrived on the LBSU campus in 1968. She hoped to use her experience as a stepping-stone to joining the staff of Long Beach State's vaunted women's basketball team, coached by Fran Schaafsma and Dixie Grimmett. While she did serve as a volunteer assistant coach with the team, Leach's primary position was to teach sailing, bowling, self-defense and archery. The latter became her lifelong passion.
"It's almost as if archery is in our DNA," Leach commented. "Why do we still have archery after 10,000 years? There's something almost spiritual about connecting with that bow and to trying to get that perfect shot off."
During the 1960s, archery was considered a women's physical education class, and Leach's only equipment consisted of women's bows from the 1940s. Undaunted, she used her limited resources to teach archery skills to both men and women. In the late '90s at a time when Kinesiology funding was available, she drafted a set of blueprints and persuaded the department to sanction construction of an archery building. Today, LBSU holds the honor of providing the longest continuously functioning full collegiate archery program in the nation.
According to the history of the archery program, written by Heather Wantuch, LBSU's archery program and Leach hold numerous distinctions, including 18 All-American and countless West All-Regional archers. From 1965 to 2008, Leach started the College State Outdoor and Indoor Championships, the Beach Cup and the long-running Southern California Archery Conference. She also coached over 600 students who became members of the LBSU competitive team, while more than 3,400 LBSU students have passed through her archery classes.
Along with her contributions to other Southern California and western college archery programs, such as CSU Fullerton, San Diego State University, Stanford University, Scottsdale and Northern Arizona, she was heavily involved in establishing the College Division of the National Archery Association. In 1984, she tried out for the Olympics and finished in fifth place. She also served as an Olympic volunteer for the L. A. and Atlanta games.
Now, after 45 years of dedication to the sport, Leach is still going strong. Following a five-year stint in the Faculty Early Retirement Program, she has remained on the campus as a part-time lecturer and continues to maintain the building and equipment. She also teaches archery and bowling for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and participates in senior and masters archery competitions. For four years, she served on the California Senior Games board of directors.
"I'm keeping busy, doing what I love, which is to teach," Leach said. "When they put me under, I'll still be teaching."
To help celebrate LBSU archery's 50th anniversary and Leach's legacy, a grand festival will be held on April 11-12, offering a major reunion of past and present archers, tours of the archery complex and campus, the latest tackle and Olympic shooting demonstrations, and concluding with a special recognition dinner.
"We want to invite all the students, and club and team members to come back in April and take part in the celebration, which is going to tie in with the College of Health and Human Services Wellness Week," Leach said.
For more information about LBSU archery's 50th anniversary celebration, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 562.985.5434.
1. There are 18.1 million archers around the world, 42 percent of which are women.
2. The bow appears to have been invented in the later Paleolithic or early Mesolithic period.
3. Archery is included as a sport for the Olympic (debuting in 1900), Paralympic, Asian and Commonwealth Games.
4. Roving marks is the oldest form of competitive archery, as practiced by King Henry VIII of England.
5. Deities and heroes in several mythologies are described as archers, including the Greek Artemis and Apollo, the Roman Diana and Cupid, the Germanic Agilaz, continuing in legends like those of Wilhelm Tell, Palnetoke or Robin Hood.

Were we ever to stage a war, once we'd finished wiping the Earth clean of pushchairs and clipart, the next object of our agression would be S-video.
It's vastly inferior to the RGB SCART sockets found on most half-decent UK TVs, but because it's the most widely-used interface in the US, it's everywhere. Ever tried connecting your PC to a telly via S-video? Yeuch.
So, it's a massive relief to discover a standalone (there's no networking - just copy files from your PC over USB 2.0) hard drive video player with a SCART port built in. With DIVX, XVID and VOB support, on paper the HV355U is the perfect portable media box.
'Perfect' was not the description that we used the morning after a night's testing on our DIVX collection. Its built-in fan made more of a racket than a small form factor PC - you'd get used to it, but it's initially very distracting.
The video picture, despite looking reasonably crisp over SCART, suffered slightly from the banding effect often seen on video devices with a low colour depth and poor contrast - still better than S-video from a PC, though.
The picture is superior over its component video connection, but how many people use that? The inclusion of digital audio outputs is very welcome, however.
The interface is very basic, offering no thumbnails or tag reading, so you're often left with a lot of miXEd_cASe_tEXT_wIth_ UNDERsCORes_, depending on the naming conventions you use for your media files, but it's straightforward enough to use.
Its portability aside, given that you could construct a video-capable media centre box for the same price as the 400GB model, the fan and picture quality failings mean our wildest SCART dreams have not yet come true. Alec Meer

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Penn State School of Hospitality Management (SHM) named Leland C. Pillsbury, co-chairman of Thayer Lodging Group, as the fall 2014 Walter J. Conti Visiting Professor. Conti Professors visit the School of Hospitality Management to interact with students and faculty members, to present guest lectures in hospitality management and to speak at graduate and undergraduate colloquia.
"As the School of Hospitality Management launches its new interdisciplinary minor in entrepreneurship and innovation this year, Mr. Pillsbury is a most fitting Conti Professor," said John O'Neill, director of the School of Hospitality Management. "He was renowned as an innovator at Marriott Corporation where he was the youngest vice president in the history of the company. More recently, as co-founder and chairman of Thayer Lodging Group, he has instituted his entrepreneurial vision to create one of the most dynamic owners and operators in the lodging space."
Pillsbury will be on campus in September to interact with students and faculty members. He will discuss topics including entrepreneurship, real estate, strategy, finance and operations.
Prior to launching Thayer, he spent 19 years at Marriott, where he became an executive vice president and corporate officer. Pillsbury led the company's entry into time sharing, Fairfield Inns and Residence Inns. Since leaving Marriott, he has played a major role in the launch of more than 15 new companies, including Internet services provider TIG Global, Chinese central reservations system innovator HUBS1 and PURE Rooms Co., providing hypoallergenic guest rooms.
Pillsbury is a member of the Cornell University Board of Trustees, vice chairman of the Investment Committee that oversees Cornell's $5.2 billion endowment and a member of several other standing committees of the board. Along with his wife, he has been named a Foremost Benefactor of the University.
Mr. and Mrs. Pillsbury endowed the Pillsbury Institute for Hospitality Entrepreneurship at the Cornell School of Hotel Administration. The institute's objectives are to educate students about entrepreneurship and provide hands-on experience through programs such as the Business Plan Competition, and interaction with entrepreneurs-in-residence at the school. PIHE hosts the Innovation Network, bringing top industry executives together to explore global innovation, and recognizes the Innovator of the Year as part of the Icon and Innovator of the Year Awards held in New York each June.
Pillsbury is the Frank H.T. Rhodes Class of 1956 Visiting Scholar at Cornell University and teaches at Cornell's seven undergraduate schools, the Johnson Graduate School of Business and the College of Veterinary Medicine. He is a frequent guest lecturer at numerous colleges and universities in the United States as well as China and Singapore.
Pillsbury served for many years as member of the Dean's Advisory Board at J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University, from which he received an master of business administration degree in 1982. The Kellogg School recognized him with the 2009 Schaffner Award, recognizing professional achievement and contribution to the school.
He is the recipient of the 2012 Far and Above Award for his contributions to the industry and his philanthropy. Pillsbury was also recognized in 2010 by the International Society of Hospitality Consultants with the Pioneer Award.
Walter J. Conti, for whom the Conti Professorship is named, is a well-known restaurateur and industry leader from Doylestown, Pennsylvania. He is the retired owner and chief executive officer of Conti Cross Keys Inn and the Historic Piper Tavern (formerly Conti's Pipersville Inn), both located in Bucks County, Pa. Conti has held various leadership positions in the National Restaurant Association, including a term as chairman from 1981 to 1982, and he is a "diplomat" of the association's educational foundation. The Conti Professorship Program was established by alumni and friends of the Penn State School of Hospitality Management in 1987 to honor Walter J. Conti for his contributions to the school, to Penn State and to the hospitality profession.

The new reality show is titled- Omotola, The Real Me. In trying to explain to us what the new show is all about, both the producers of the show, Africa Magic and the main person featured, Omotola had this to say.
Movie star. Mom. Wife. Icon. Omotola Jalade Ekeinde is an African superstar. In December, DStv audiences tuned into AfricaMagic Entertainment will get an up close and exclusive look at her personal life in the new reality series OMOTOLA: THE REAL ME!
Audiences will join the famous actress as she launches her latest movies, expands her business interests and takes on all the challenges of being a ground-breaking celebrity with fans across the continent. At the same time she remains devoted to her marriage and her family, working to maintain a balance between her professional and personal responsibilities.
Filmed on location in Lagos, London, Ghana, Miami and Kingston (Jamaica), OMOTOLA: THE REAL ME will be screened on AfricaMagic Entertainment, starting on December 6 and premiering a new episode every Thursday (18:30/21:00 CAT) for 13 weeks.
Talking about the series Omotola says nothing was off limits to the team filming her. "You will get to see everything. What we are doing is very real. It's basically my whole life. The parts where I'm taking care of the kids, the parts where I'm taking care of the home, the parts when I am working, the parts where I'm yelling. It's crazy. My life is crazy!"
But she reassures fans that the show is designed for a wide audience. "Yes my image is 'omosexy' but this show is for the whole family. It's good content for everyone."
M-Net Africa Managing Director Biola Alabi is pleased that the series will appeal to a range of viewers.

Audiences love that they can see the stars as they go about their daily lives; as they chase their dreams; as they live, love, work and play."
She also praises Omotola for allowing a sneak peek into her world. "It's not easy to have cameras following you, filming you in your good moments and your 'not so good' moments. Omotola is already a very busy person so to let viewers share her life is a very brave step to take. Of course, she is enormously entertaining so we know that the series will be fun, interesting television which will result in a lot of texting, tweeting and talking among followers."

Maine fugitive caught in Missouri
Robert Fuller wanted for burglaries
A man wanted for dozens of burglaries in coastal Maine is in a Missouri jail pending extradition back to Maine.
Robert Fuller, 62, of Boothbay Harbor, was arrested in St. Louis on Wednesday, Officer Jared Mitkus of Boothbay Harbor Police said in a release.
Last month, members of a number of law enforcement agencies executed search warrants at Fuller's home and seized items related to several burglary investigations. Authorities searched a nearby home and found a number of items connected with the investigation.
Investigators recovered items related to dozens of burglaries in at least two counties. The items include those taken from high-value commercial and residential burglaries in Boothbay Harbor and surrounding towns as far as 25 miles away.
Fuller, who is facing burglary and theft charges, was last seen in the Portland area before being arrested in Missouri. Police said in March that Fuller was known to disguise himself in makeup and wigs.

Major problem for the whole governance debate: The 'Shareholders' as the Investment Management Firms and/or Banks are often mistakenly called are in reality nothing but fiduciaries for the real end investors. But they have disproportionate power over corporate policies - and therefore our whole economic (market? capitalist?) system. This is a relatively recent development - just remember that Fidelity was a comparative midget in terms of AuM just 45 years ago, and Blackrock was only founded in 1986. No one seems to have thought of introducing a mechanism that allows end investors - the real shareholders - to influence - let alone control - the governance policies that are exercised on their behalf by these fiduciaries. To add insult to injury directly or indirectly they pay their fiduciaries twice, once with any management fees and again for farming out governance to third parties, known as Proxy 'Advisers'. Not many savers are informed about the fees that are charged by these advisers and how their performance is measured. At best they provide a fig leaf for the fiduciaries and at worst the fees they receive are an outright waste of money as fund managers should be able to assess companies they invest in in a 360 degree fashion, not just if the price will go up or down in the next five minutes. So to conclude: would the great unwashed public agree to pay CEO's the sums they get paid these days? I think the answer should be obvious.

Quite how Thom Yorke maintains such a fantastic level of quality with his output, both as a fifth of Radiohead and when releasing fuzzing and buzzing electronica records under his solo banner, is wonderfully perplexing. Surely, someday soon, the man will slip and unleash upon the world a record so disappointingly disparate from what's preceded it – not a single toe trailing waters past – that fans long-term and fleeting will join arms and ignore his misfiring melancholy musings.
It could have happened with The Eraser, easily; crossed arms and turned-away faces unresponsive to the man's Warp-indebted arrangements. That it didn't is because of songs like this – 'Analyse', said album's second track and the second single from it, is a majestic four minutes-ish of sprinkled electro' percussion and carefully and gracefully attended-to keys. It's both immediate and distant, warmly human and coldly alien. It's Radiohead stripped of the sometimes-distracting bombast, Yorke's voice allowed the freedom to soar and tumble without nerve-shredding guitars diverting ears away from its still-incredible impact.
Expect a few copies of The Eraser to find their way into Christmas stockings as a direct result of the release of this single – it's a soul-stirrer, a brain-tingling exercise in aural exploration that marks its maker out as the maverick he's rightfully recognised as. Well, by all people except the Mercury judging panel, perhaps. When they recognise consistency over single-record success, rest assured that Thom'll be first in line to leave his trophy on stage, a beaming but fake smile on his know-better face.

EDMONTON – The Association of Roman Catholic Communicators of Canada (ARCCC) is aimed at fostering a common purpose among Catholic communicators across the nation.
ARCCC President Joe Sinasac joined the association in the late 1990s. He finds it beneficial because Catholic communicators are small in numbers, so supporting each other is vital. Through ARCCC, he continues learning from his colleagues across the country.
"Canada is such a huge country, and we work so far away from each other. Sometimes in distant communities it's very difficult for people to really know what others are doing. People can feel very much alone," said Sinasac.
Sinasac worked for daily newspapers for about 15 years, covering everything from sports to politics before transitioning to the Catholic press. He worked for the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, Windsor Star, and the former Southam News before becoming editor and publisher of The Catholic Register in Toronto. He is now the publishing director for Novalis Publishing.
The annual ARCCC conference was held May 10-11 at Providence Renewal Centre. Founded over 25 years ago, ARCCC brings together Canadians engaged professionally in Catholic communication.
"Fundamentally, ARCCC is an organization to help raise the professional standards of people engaged in Catholic communication, and to help them nourish their own spiritual lives and their own understanding of their role in the Church," said Sinasac.
Aside from the annual conference, a newsletter and newly resuscitated website allow for member organizations to stay informed.
"The website gives us a little forum for us to talk about things like this New Evangelization. Or, when the bishops of Canada or the Vatican release statements on communications, it gives us a way as a group to reflect how they will affect our work," said Sinasac.
Working for the Church is such a rewarding occupation for many people in Catholic communications, Sinasac said, "It's kind of an open secret that if they weren't paying us to do this, we'd probably pay to do it."
In 2008, in conjunction with the U.S.-based Catholic Press Association, ARCCC organized a Catholic media conference in Toronto attended by nearly 500 people.
"There's not a lot of us across Canada, but when we put our resources together we can do great things," said Sinasac.
He has met like-minded colleagues through ARCCC who have become his lifelong friends. A value of the organization is this gathering of kindred souls, he said.
Sinasac told his colleagues that he tries not to think of himself foremost as a professional but as a disciple of Christ. "We need to understand where we are within the Church. Our role as communicators is a service to the Church."
Eric Durocher, editor of the Montreal-based Catholic Times, said communicating the Gospel message has changed over the years, from a focus on television years ago, to websites in the 1990s to social media today.
But he cautioned that these new technologies are not a panacea.
"Just because you advertise doesn't mean someone is going to buy," said Durocher.
"Just because you put information out there doesn't mean someone will be informed. Just because you make the Good News available doesn't mean someone is going to be evangelized."

Jerusalem first, second and last
Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi
- December 16, 2017
Main News
] [
US foreign policy
] [
Send by email:
One of the most dangerous points to have been leaked from the so-called "Deal of the Century", which the American negotiating team has been preparing, is the exclusion of Jerusalem from the suggested solution. Through this exclusion, they are circumventing the Palestinian, Arab and international consensus regarding the city being the long-sought capital of the Palestinian state.
These leaks coincide with the hysterical escalation of Judaising settlement activities in Jerusalem and the decisions to ethnically cleanse Palestinian communities in what's called the (E1) Area, including the Jabal Al-Baba and the Bedouin communities in the Jordan Valley. These activities aim at totally encircling Jerusalem and separating it from its West Bank surroundings.
In parallel with this, the ministerial committee in the Netanyahu occupation government announced its approval for the separation from Jerusalem of Palestinian communities around Kafr 'Aqab and the Camp of She'fat. Thus, they are paving the way for usurping the identity and the right of residence of tens of thousands of Jerusalemite Palestinians.
This was accompanied by reckless statements from American Vice President Pence about the approaching transfer of the US embassy to Jerusalem and American President Trump's acknowledgment of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Western supporters of these statements to erase the Jerusalem issue from the concept of the Palestinian state have been encouraged by illusions arising from the location of the Palestinian Authority's institutions in Ramallah. The PA has been based in Ramallah due to being prevented from locating in Jerusalem, as well as excessive urban and consumer expansion there.
However, the advocates of these illusions don't realise what Jerusalem means, not only to 13 million Palestinians, but to more than 300 million Arabs, to 1.6 billion Muslims, and to 2.2 billion Christians – nor what it means as a historically holy city for the whole of humanity, with its 7 billion people.
I don't think that they realise that there has never been, nor will there ever be, a Palestinian leader or official who dares to give up Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.
Whoever dares to even suggest the possibility of such a relinquishement within any upcoming political agreement or project will be tainted with treason from the point of view of all Palestinians and Muslim Arabs. There is nothing more horrendous, despicable, dangerous and harsh than the accusation of treason.
Whoever dares to even suggest dangerous ideas about separating Jerusalem from its Palestinian inhabitants in response to Zionist projects propagated by the Israeli government doesn't realise the historical significance of what Jerusalem has undergone throughout its long history. He also doesn't realise its capacity to rise again after every occupation and every invasion, no matter how mighty or long the periods of invasion and occupation were.
History is full of lessons for anyone attempting to possess or monopolise control over Jerusalem. Such people ended up in its streets or on its walls with burnt hands – condemned to oblivion.
Jerusalem has endured, along with its inhabitants and those who remain, steadfastly defending it and its borders and environs.
Whoever isn't satisfied with the lessons of history should learn a lesson from what the valiant Jerusalemites did last July, when they rose up in their tens of thousands against Netanyahu's measures and restraints, entering Al-Aqsa Mosque and forcing him to retreat dispiritedly. Through their popular struggle, they accomplished what governments, states and international organisations could not.
Jerusalemites and Palestinians won't cause or allow the liquidation of the Jerusalem issue. Nor will they accept any solution that doesn't include Jerusalem as a capital for their people.
All the peoples of the region who were too forgiving regarding the injustice to which Jerusalem has been subjected, won't forgive, in any case, the encroachment on their religious and historical holy sites and what the city represents to them.
The advocates of those allusions may go and play in other spheres, but they must keep away from Jerusalem, because it is capable of destroying their plots in a way that they won't and can't imagine.
According to Palestine, Jerusalem has been and will be the first and last word, regardless of who accepts or who rejects this.
